This album is dedicated to the memory of John R. Brooke 1922 - 2007 Pilot 8th Airforce Mendelson Eng 1942 - 1946 and to all of the brave young men who fought for our freedom all those long years ago and to those who continue to keep this part of history alive. If you have never heard the sound of a Right Cyclone engine at full throttle, or watched one of these beauties fly you dont know what you missed. To have flown in one only as a passenger has been one of my greatest adventures in my life. Thanks again to all who keep them flying.
